A Pretty Gnitlcn Party on Hliennnii AVPIIIIO Bwlmmlni ; nt tinNnt - ntorluni Lawn Fcto * mid Til BOM ) OANOH. Where the rock * are trray and the shore Is stoop , And the waton liolowiook dark and deep , vVhero the ragged jnno , In Its lonely pride , Leans gloomily over the murky tldo ; Whot-o iho roods and rushoi are long and lank , And the weeds prow thick on the winding bank ; % Vhoro the shadow Is heavy the whole day through , Tbero Hoi In its moorinps the old canoo. i useless paddlot are Idly dropped , Like n soa-ulrd'a wing * that the storm lias lopped , And crossed on the railing , ono o'er ono , Like the folded hamU when the work U done , While hnilly back nnd fortn hotweon The spltlor stretches his silvery screen. And the solemn owl with the dull "too-whoo , " Bottles down on the side of the old canoo. The currcntloss waters nro dond and still , But the twilight wind plays with the boat at will , And lazily in and out again It floats the length of the maty chain , Like the weary march of the hands of tlmo , That meet and part nt the noontldo rhlmo , And the shore Is kissed at each turning nnow , By the dripping bougti of the aid canoo. Oh many n time witli coaselnss hand , Imvo pushed it away from the pebbly strnml , And paddled it down where the stream run quick , "Where the whirls are wild and the eddlo-J are thick , And laughed as I loaned o'er rocking side , And looked below In the broken tide To see th'it thn fares nnrt boats were two , That were mirrored back from the old canoo. But now , as lloan o'er the crumbling side , And look below In the sluggish tide , The fnco that I see there is graver crown , And the laugh that I hoar is n sober tone , And the hands that lent to the light skiff wings Have grown familiar with sterner things ; But I love to thlnK of the hours that sped As I rocked where tlio whirls their whlto spray shod. Ere the blossom waved or the green grass grow O'er the uiouldoring stern of the old canoe. Is the Summer Girl over e.irnost ? has been n question which the loading newspaper writers have been Irving to solve over slnco Juno brought that being into existence. In our pinion she is very much in earnest. Jt is ro.illy surprising that there should bo nny doubt ubout it. It is n mlstako to as- Bumo that the Summer Girl is always frivo lous , She may possess all the elements of the making'of a noble womanhood , nnd tlio freedom nnd energy and experience of tbo out-ofdoor summer life oflon fit her for it ) t rather than detract. All over the country near and far , there Bro girls , who , after tlu-lr summer outing , como back butter and liner typos of woman hood in every way. So we should not be too quick in passing Judgment upon these pro ducts of the summer davi. for they are like the season , full of warmth , brightness and sunsbino aud our effort should bo In the direction of perpotualing their existence rgtiior than place hindrances in the way of thi > lr proper' development. Tlio Suminor Girl may bo a coquette , yea , Bho may be oven a flirt , "but the shadows fall nthwart her llfo all too soon aud the jov in her face nnd the light in her mild blno eye molt away In the look of care and the reflec tion ot 11 mission to bo performed. It is a trite saying that few of us have the gift or acquire the art of gracefully growing old. Heedless and superficial , or silly and vain parsons look upon advancing years as an nfllictivo and vengeful dispensation of Provi dence : but the true philosopher nna Christian takes ' 'fortune's buffets and rewards" with equal thanks and grown in amiability and grace wltli each succcding year. Now , to mil at the wbathor or make pitiful attempts to conceal the footprints of time Is to involve one's self in-certain misery , lo say naught of turn til K away one's friends in mild disgust. j.The ungraceful way to iccoivlng time's nd- llinces is persistently to refuse to ac- -vjeiigo his presence. ifi'.ero Is a gray hair , and I am only 25. i'ull it out qulckl" Out it comes and seven more .spring up. "A lart'Q hat or a turban always did become - como me , and I'm sure I'm not too old to wear them now.

" 1 shall got this or that particular shade of red , or pink , or blue , for It was always so be I * * coming to mo. " Yes , in the long ago , but not In the now , dear heart. If you will only Wipe the dust of vanity oft of your mirror nnd take a good look at yourself In a strong light , you will porcelvo tunt thu frcsbncss of youth no longer abides with you. Therefore you must "gather enfrta's glory aud bloom within , " since externals have lost their po tency. Look around on your shopping ex peditions for shades that suit your forty- year-old complexion. Mr. Hamilton Aide , discoursing very agree- nbly of l'Tho Social Aspects of American Lifo" in the Nineteenth Century for .luiio , Las tr.ls to say of American hospitality : "American hospitality is proverbial , and Justly so. It is conceived in the true old English spirit , which has died awav. shame faced , amid our own conventionalities.Vo nr > , for tbo most part , afraid to ask the friiMtd wo moot In the street to share our simple dinner. If wo cannot kill the fatted call wo dart ) not otTer him cold mutton. And co it comes about that many a pleasant evening - ning , sucn us our forefathers would have enjoyed - joyed 'acrois the walnuts and the wine , " Is uilsbid. I lore it Is not so. I shall always re call with pluasuro a visit I paid to au almost Btrangoronu Sunday afternoon , whoso talk beguiled mo Into remaining much longer than t had Intended. As I roio to go ho said : "Wo have au early dinner on Sunday ; but wo are colnu to supper prudently. Will YOU not . . .itay' " " " " * fcl did stay ; nnd the supper consisted of Bos ton beans , broad , culto and preserves. A plate of cold beef was brought In for mo ; and that waall. . No excuses worn made for the mo.inorncsH of the fnro , and tn mo at least no npolouy was needed. It was rightly assumed that what was good enough for the family I should bo satlsllod with. This in my eyes is the most perfect instance of true hospitality uinl good breeding I ever met. " A China Wedding.

It was after their return from a riding party. Oao of the gentlemen had separated himself from the rest ot the company and pazod vacantly into the wide , wldo world. A lull fell on the fair equestriennes nnd their male ct-corts. Talk for a moment was at a standstill. It will happen that way , you know , sometimes , even in 11 crowd of gay .spirits. Then just as suddenly as the silonro had fallen upon the heads of the crowd It was broken by the solitary figure who had elected to sit apart from the rest. With a sublime tenderness in his voice , with the light in his eye "that is not on land or sea , " ho said. "And she was not n bit sick on the second day out. " Yet could you blame him ? For "sho" has just gene over the ocean for n summer's outing , and the interest shown is pardonable , surely. For mal do mar Is awful , oven If the sea was as tender ns a woman , and not in the least bit rude , as ho sometime * is. _ Do Witt's Little Early Risers. Best llttlo pill over made.

" It is inodo up like the cartwheel - wheel spider web , with illlos and buttorilies caught In tbo mosbos , * i Some girls got collections of soldier or yachting suit buttons -uid tie them to their parasol handles.

A pinky fawn 1s thu newest - est shade in kids , nnd many smart women are wearing white suede In the evening. Two little bridesmaids were dressed In rich canary-color surah silk frocks with broad sashes , whlto lace hats and yellow ribbon bows. They also were bronze stock ings and shoes and gold Cinderella slipper brooches , with blue enameled lover's knots. Brocades were never so trul- gorgeous ns thi * year. A lovely ono Is pnlost blue , with a design in metal gold on a palo ground , which ha ? all the effect of being shot with gold , by reason of the gold threads passing behind the satin. The snmo design , a largo pine with foliage , is made on a ground of urcam. All sorts of pretty fancies are Introduced In the fashioning of light bodices and waists for the vacation season. The Soanisb , Swiss , and peasant waists with pretty rib bon accessories nro now almost indispensable to n well-rogulatod toilet for a young lady. bomo bridesmaids' frocks were of cream serge maid with thrco-quartor coats edged with gold , nnd capes of salmon-pink velvet , the front of the bodices being draped with chiffon ; and their hats , of cream openwork straw , were trimmed with pink carnations ; bouquets of pink carnations , tied with long ribbons. A blue nnd whlto striped dolalne was very simple and cool-lookinir. Its skin was en tirely plain , except for a few plaits at ono side. The bodice had n triple row of jut carried about at the waist , and was worn with a big lint hat of black crinoline , trim med with corn flowers and white ribbons. Fan-collecting Is becoming moro and moro of n fad. 'I hero Is probably no single collec tion of fans now In New York equal to that which was owned by Airs. Astor. Airs. Seligman has many beautiful fans. Airs. Wliitolaw Hold has an exquisite ono made of whltn sillr , embroidered in colors and orna mented with small pearls. A natch of black court plaster on the face is likely to bo a summer whim. It is coquetry confessed , but then coquetry is n woman's safest weapon , surest protection , und , to many minds , her chtcfcst charm , The patch was invented by some queen envious of the mole on n peasant girl's cl.cek. It attracts the eye to a charm it might not noto. The severe style of dress , which has been so highly favored lor so many seasons , ban- lining wholly all frills and fripperies , llouncns nnd furbelows front the costume , and ruthlessly forbidding anything like lace upon the corsage , ha- , now , as might have been expected , undergone complete reaction , and wo are deluged , as it were , with leagues of lace of every quality nnd design. Of course Iho fashion is carried to nn absurd nnd otten ridiculous length. There is nothing that equals fresh butter milk for removing tan , freckles , sunburn or moth spots' , says the Ladies' ' Homo Journal. It has the great advantage that it does not in jure the skin , but renders it soft , like a little child's. Tuko a soft cloth or sponge and bathe the face , nock and arms thoroughly with buttermilk ; before retiring for the night ; then wlpo off the drops lightly. In the morn ing wash it thoroughly and wipe dry with a crash towel. A Contribution , from Texas. Air. J. B.
